Re: Hy-Vee has armed guards now
It costs about $50 an hour minimum to have an armed guard, even if you hire them yourselves. All kinds of overhead and insurance you have to figure in.

Anyway, think about it...they have to be losing more than that per hour in merchandise walking out the door for it to be worth it. Which means they probably are losing $500-$1000 a day minimum to theft these days.

They are getting ready for the food riots...




The shoulder patches say, “A Helpful Smile in Every Aisle,” but the police-style uniforms, complete with belts with holstered taser and possibly handguns, may send a very different message as Hy-Vee deploys a new retail security team in its stores.

The West Des Moines-based supermarket chain will begin introducing its own security force “as part of its ongoing efforts to ensure the health and safety of both its customers and employees,” the company announced in a news release on Dec. 29. The program will roll out throughout 2022, but security teams are already present in some stores.

Now that False Flag supermarket shooting is starting to make more sense.

It's just like the False Flag shooting in Las Vegas to sell metal detectors all over the country.

They're getting ahead of the coming food riots with the False Flag supermarket shooting, and all the new laws that follow.

winkwhat

Brilliant isn’t it? And not the least bit racist because FF shooter was white. New retail security team. What bothers me is that they can fool so many tards with these FFs. Blantant rip-off of the NZ video game. Langley has the budget to do better.

I think you might be hitting the nail on the head. Stores will start installing metal detectors so ccw's will be useless in the stores. Except, of course, for the criminal who stays outside to pick off shoppers as they leave the stores or storms the doors.

Yeah well, you could joke about that but the fact remains they ["armed guards"] ARE there.

Article from January 2022. Still seems like a good "so it begins" reference point particularly if other stores do the same...especially around this fall.

Re: Hy-Vee has armed guards now
They should just ask customers to start concealed carrying when they go to HyVee. They won't have any issues finding willing CCW holders in Iowa.

And a CCW holder will be more likely to engage an active shooter than some minimum wage rent-a-guard.

Not to mention the fact that if they instituted that policy, mass shooters would almost certainly pick somewhere other than HyVee to begin with.
 Quoting: Depluribus Unum


I'm wondering if it isn't more about looting than "active shooters."

Re: Hy-Vee has armed guards now
You have to look at this situation through greedy corporate eyes.

This isn't for the customer's protection.

It's to protect corporate profits.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51031768


You're not even close.
Human greed doesn't enter into the equation at even the simplest level, except perhaps in the simple minds of the disposable proles.

This is a mental fight for unlimited authority.
And that's just at the human level.
And the deeper you look, the more you realize it's not even human.

Hy-Vee has always had police in their stores, at least in my area. Instead of paying the police overtime to be there, they’re hiring their own security. This is a big nothing burger.

Food production will become nationalized as will distribution. Retail food outlets will become food distribution centers and your box of food will be granted based upon certain criteria.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45355320


Oh, I hope not. But they need to feed folks to keep the rage at a low roar. Hungry people make for lousy placid citizens. I foresee that the internet will be shut down and only EMS will be the way to receive information. "Attention, attention, today at 2:00pm the Hy-vee at Main and Central will be issuing food boxes to people with SSN's ending with even numbers. Do not appear unless you have an original SS card and valid drivers license." This is the sort of rationing which will be necessary to keep people calm and fed.
